Yes but you can say the same about Allure Homme Sport. People were probably complaining about messing with the original Allure to create Allure Homme Sport. But look what happened, the flanker turned out to be a classic among a new generation.

So you never know...the Extreme version could be exactly what some people are looking for. It could become a new classic with a huge following. Or it could be a half-assed attempt to squeeze more money out of a successful product. Still worth a sniff either way to decide for yourself

You`r right. Chanel Allure homme Sport is the no.1 best selling Chanel fragrance for men. That`s the fact eighter we like it or not.

I absolutely love it. It's a very warm and long lasting fragrance. Not as loud as the original (which I own and love as well though).
Especially love the tonka beans and the woody base which give it a very warm character. Also the mint in the opening is subtle compared to the citrus blast in the opening of the original AHS.
Definitely not getting the toothpaste vibe someone else mentioned here, thank god. Been wearing it a few times now and couldn't stop sniffing my hand, haha!
Do test it though, because I'm a bit of a Chanel junkie, so my opinion is not very objective...

Re: Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme Chanel for men

Tried this today at work, was not happy To me it smells like refined Ben Gay... maybe it was just my first impression.. but it does not bode well.

Wow!!! Have you had your nose checked lately??? Seriously, if that's what you're getting...you might want to have a physician take a look at it.

It's similar to Allure Sport, only replace the lemon scent with a slight mint and pepper vibe. If that equates to Ben Gay, then Ben Gay has been reformulated. BIG TIME!

When others mention how it is "subtle" compared to Allure Homme Sport, I think they're strictly talking about the opening. It doesn't open as loud as AHS with it's "fresh lemon burst", but the projection and longevity of the Eau Extreme is actually a bit better than the original....at least on my skin. I'm very impressed by not only the scent (which is very nice), but by the longevity of this one.

Better than the original? Yes. But this frag still doesn't do the job.

Re: Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme Chanel for men

Seent it today at Macy's here in Grand Rapids, MI. At first smell I didn't care for it all that much. I may go back, because I actually like the Issey Sport and I am considering buying it. So when I do, I can actually try a spray of AHSEE on my skin rather than just the paper.

Those that said they did not see it at Macy's, it looks exactly the same as AHS, I asked the SA about it and they grabbed it for me. The bottle is the same as AHS, but has Eau Extreme at the bottom.
